    "Great neighborhood for first time home buyers or young families, it’s quiet and safe. Most houses aren’t all that big or fancy, but it is still a quietly nice neighborhood with a little park within walking distance, close to D&W and the Oakland Plaza, close to Nature’s Way preschool, and Portage. For us it’s not our forever neighborhood but it’s been a great starting off point. "
